I'm a freelance colorist who works 80% of the time on Resolve and now and then on the baselight. On Resolve I often use cinegrain and wanted to do the same in Baselight.. As I put the grain at the bottom of the stack with a blend overlay, the shot becomes darker. Is that normal or is it some parameter I dont know about?

With an overlay blend, there should be no difference (except the grain of course)

Just found out that my colorspace was wrong in the grain strip and that's why the image got darker......it was set to rec709 instead of log c wide gamut. Glad i found out, everything looks much better now:-)

BTW: For overlay blend mode it usually works best to tag the inputCS of the grain plate with the "log" working colour space. (If the grain plate is grey). Then the brightness of the shot will be less affected. Alternatively one can also grade the exposure of the grain to avoid density shifts.

Our picks

Today we released Play Pro - an improved version of the old SCRATCH Play.
Play Pro now supports SDI-output, pretty stellar h264/h265 encoding, as well as ProRes encoding on Windows.
It's a nice tool to have handy for e.g. dailies review, or simpler transcoding jobs (e.g. for delivery).﻿
Starting at 19 bucks a month, it's pretty affordable as well 🙂 .
